+Jam - Make(1) Redux
+
+Jam is a program construction tool, like make(1). Jam recursively builds
+target files from source files, using dependency information and updating
+actions expressed in the Jambase file, which is written in jam's own
+interpreted language. The default Jambase is compiled into jam and
+provides a boilerplate for common use, relying on a user-provide file
+"Jamfile" to enumerate actual targets and sources.
